Memrise made another highly inconvenient change yesterday

It used to be that if you selected the Speed review and completed it, you could see how many words you have left to review on the summary page, and you’d have the option to instantly jump back in. They’ve changed it now, so you have to click the “more” button to even see how many reviews are left, and you can’t just do another Speed Review instantly, you have to manually select it from the “more” tab, otherwise you’ll likely launch into another mode when you hit enter. This is really inconvenient and kills some of the flow. If I’ve manually selected a speed review from the menu, it’s because I probably want to do speed reviews. I don’t want to take 9 hours grinding down all my vocab with the slower modes. I’m probably going to keep using this site for Kanji, but I’m moving all my vocab to Anki and probably cancelling pro once it’s up for renewal unless a better change is made.

I don’t use speed review, but yes - I noticed this, too. Sometimes whilst reviewing a course, more words get added to the queue, and now you don’t see that.

Another shame of an update. Absolutely pointless. Doesn’t even look aesthetically pleasing with the blank space.
